In recent years, PA12, an emerging spectacle frame material, is a 3D printing material of SLS process. This material is widely used in SLS process production because of its production stability, comprehensive mechanical properties and cost-effective advantages. With the characteristics of high safety, high toughness and memory, it has also been widely used in the production of frame products in recent years Its density is less than TR90, the ultimate lightness, a pair of PA12 material printed frame products are generally between 2-5 grams.

The personal customization of the frame has become just the need, the traditional quantitative production of the frame is difficult to fully match each of our faces, for consumers, even if they choose their own special favorite frame there may be inappropriate size factors. Glasses for the myopic family, is a piece of the same as the existence of external organs, according to analysis of a pair of glasses uncomfortable, mainly affected by the length of the mirror leg and the support of the nose, the human body's feeling of the frame is very sensitive, as long as greater than 2 mm will feel it, if the nose or the mirror leg is not suitable, will often appear sliding mirror, in the long run not only affect the beauty but also damage the wearer's vision Kang. For traditional eyewear manufacturers, the entire eyewear industry is a red Sea industry of excessive competition, in addition to the material cost of the glasses themselves, as well as the cost of eyewear storage, as well as the waste cost of glasses that can not be sold (stores each sell a pair of glasses, you have to bear 3-5 pairs of inventory pressure), the industry continues to be in a state of micro profit.

Focusing on the Additive manufacturing (AM) market, the forecast for the 3D printed glasses market 2019-2028 is that the 3D printed glasses market will grow significantly over the next decade due to the demand of AM for the production of final parts. The overall opportunity for AM in the eyewear industry is expected to reach $3.4 billion by 2028.

It can be seen that 3D printing process will have a huge impact on the frame production industry in the next decade, and at this stage of many 3D printing processes, SLS process is the closest to the production of terminal plastic parts, especially Lori SLS 3D printing process solution innovation. Equipped with the industry's most advanced clean production system and a wealth of material options, in addition to the commonly used PA12, including high-toughness PA11 and high-rigidity glass fiber nylon composite materials with excellent performance materials, for the future customer customized frame mass printing production is fully prepared. For the post-processing coloring process of the post-printing frame, Lori also has corresponding solutions to provide users with a full range of consumer personalized needs. We welcome customers who are interested in this quiet change in the frame industry to contact Lori, and look forward to further technical exchanges with you.
